🔥 THE ART OF UNTAMED 🔥
Is to challenge what traditional Fine Dining is and what it could be with a fun but very comforting approach that is guaranteed to have you and your guests immersed in a non stop unforgettable Culinary Experience that all of my clients have said is far more greater than any Fine Dining Experience that they have ever had. I specialize in Nouvelle Latin Fusion Live Fire Cuisine with a Comfort approach. This truly is the epitome of Dinner Theater that will captivate you & your guests to be inspired beyond GREAT tasting food. LIQUID NITROGEN + FLAME THROWERS + BLINDFOLDS + FOAMS + BUBBLES & SMOKE are just part of the epic experience I want to provide you... The most important part of this is a Chef with the energy to match and execute Culinary Perfection... 🔥 My food is passionately curated by supporting Small Farms and growers who work tirelessly to help me create you the perfect Untamed Experience. I only use USDA PRIME House Dry Aged cuts of Beef, Air Chilled never frozen Poultry, Fowl & Seafood, Organic Vegetables. Fresh Hand Made Pastas, House Made Cultured Butter, Breads & Cheeses as well as Masterful Sauces, Fun Confections & Candies, Fresh House Churned Ice Creams & Sorbets. Only the best quality all the time 100% from scratch & always cooked on site. I BRING ALL THE FOOD, NAPKINS, DISHES, SILVERWARE AND PLACE SETTINGS FOR THIS DINNING EXPERIENCE 😎
MY GUESTS HAVE SAID MY DINING EXPERIENCE & MY FLAVORS ARE FAR GREATER THAN EVERY RESTAURANT ON THIS LIST.... ALL GLORY TO GOD🙏🙌
